Lots of tennis stars fancy themselves as amateur soccer players. Bringing a soccer ball to practice, playing in charity games with professional teams and getting some pickup action between matches are common occurrences on tour. The athleticism, endurance, dexterity and team setting are natural fits for most players. (Victoria Azarenka is most fond of the flopping.)

Novak Djokovic brought some football to the Australian Open final on Sunday when he kicked a ball out of frustration. It wasn't your usual soft player kick. Djokovic booted this one like Cristiano Ronaldo clearing a ball downfield.

He was just inside the baseline when he made contact. The ball sailed to the opposite wall, approximately 95 feet, or 31 yards.

You hear that, Jim Harbaugh? Novak Djokovic can accurately kick the ball 31 yards. He's probably not doing anything next Sunday. Couldn't be any worse than David Akers, right?
